In His Obsession, She Belongs

Episode 1

Fiona Joel is done playing the devoted fiancée. After four years engaged to Chen Zemu, who has slept with countless women, she decides to even the score. While waiting for an elevator, she asks a stranger if he is single — and he accepts. "Hope you won't regret it," he warns. She gives him her first time, and he promises something in return. Then she slips away: "Goodbye, handsome. Last night was memorable." But the man isn't random. Ten years on, he says, "Little one, we finally meet again."

Episode 2

Chen Zemu brings yet another woman to the villa, and Fiona walks in on them. She reminds the girl who she is — the owner's fiancée — while counting his conquests: a full deck of cards, now working toward a mahjong set. "He gave me so many green hats, and I only returned one," she says, almost amused. Then news arrives from the old house: his uncle Chen Jialuo is back from abroad. Chen Zemu panics, suspecting a play for the family inheritance, and orders Fiona to stay on the third floor.

Episode 3

At the Chen family home, Gu Yanqiu corners Fiona before she can even greet the elders. "How can you not stop even this small thing?" she scolds, warning that reporters could catch Chen Zemu's affairs — and that Fiona must not let him father a child. Chen Zemu mocks Fiona as a boring woman kept only to please Grandfather. But as Fiona heads toward the study, a familiar back and a string of prayer beads stop her cold. Could the man from last night be here? Grandfather calls her in: "You haven't seen your uncle in ten years."

Episode 4

In the study, the truth lands. The stranger from the elevator is Chen Jialuo — her fiancé's uncle, back after a decade abroad. Grandfather reminisces about how much the little girl once adored him. Fiona keeps her composure, serving tea and chestnut cakes, but the tension is electric. Chen Jialuo tests her, and she doesn't flinch. Privately, she seethes at the man who slept with a stranger and then dares to judge her. The reunion is sweet on the surface and dangerous underneath.

Episode 5

Grandfather praises Fiona's tea and lets her help with his chess game, clearly favoring her. He sends Chen Zemu off to gather lotus pods — an errand to get him out of the room. When Chen Jialuo is asked how long he plans to stay, he answers only, "Depends on my mood." Then, under the dinner table, Gu Yanqiu snaps at Fiona for fidgeting. The family dinner is a minefield, and everyone at the table is watching everyone else.

Episode 6

Talk turns to marriage. Grandfather wants Chen Zemu and Fiona wed soon. Gu Yanqiu pushes for it, eager for a great-grandchild, but Chen Jialuo coolly asks whether anyone has consulted Fiona herself. "Do you want to marry?" he asks her directly. She answers that she follows Grandfather's arrangements. Grandfather decides Fiona should visit the Joel family to get her father's opinion. Chen Jialuo offers to drive her. Outside, she eyes a Bentley — her favorite car, and far beyond her means.

Episode 7

Alone in the car, the masks come off. Fiona warns Chen Jialuo to forget last night and behave like a proper uncle, or Gu Yanqiu will see through the act she has maintained for four years. He offers to help her get whatever she wants — no marriage required. She refuses: "Nothing free is trustworthy." She threatens to tell Grandfather he forced himself on her. He calls her bluff, then leaves her the car as a graduation gift. "My promise to you is always valid."

Episode 8

Fiona returns to the Joel household, where her stepmother barely bothers to act. The family wants the marriage to Chen Zemu — and a generous bride price. They also have a demand of their own: the Chen family must help save the Meixin Opera House, her mother's legacy, by inviting the famous opera star Xi Ke to perform. Fiona agrees to pursue it, but privately vows to reclaim everything her mother left her — the opera house and the antique hairpin — before settling scores.

Episode 9

The stepmother lays out the plan: only the wealthy Chen family could possibly persuade the celebrated Xi Ke to perform at the struggling Meixin Opera House. Fiona, trained in opera herself, knows exactly who Xi Ke is. She promises to make it happen, whatever the star demands. But her real goal is bigger. Both of her mother's treasures — the opera house and the antique hairpin — are still held by her father and stepmother. Once she has them all, she says, she will settle accounts.

Episode 10

Fiona gets a lead: someone who can craft the headpiece she needs — a prized disciple of Master Pei, recently returned from abroad. The catch? This artisan has a terrible temper, works only for interest, and takes jobs purely by mood. Then comes the twist: the name is Chen Jialuo. The man she can't escape is also the one person who can help her reclaim her mother's legacy. The game just got far more complicated.

Fiona's double life is only getting messier — start watching and see how far she'll go.
